Cheers Season 5 (1986)


1

The Proposal

It is revealed that it was Diane to whom Sam proposed on the telephone in the last episode. She declines the proposal as premature and unromantic, asking Sam to repeat it in a more-suitable setting. Cliff suggests a sailboat but Diane turns Sam down again, citing Sam’s reference to ex-lover Janet Eldridge as the reason. Sam sails off in a lifeboat, leaving Diane behind. Several days later Diane asks Sam to propose again, but he refuses, saying that the proposal has "expired".

2

The Cape Cad

Sam’s date, Vicki (Brenda Strong), checks out of a country inn to visit her grandmother in the hospital. To keep Diane—who has followed them there—from finding out, Sam offers a $50 bribe to a middle-aged couple (Sid Conrad and Kathryn White) to make noise in the bathroom; however, his plan fails when the husband comes out of the bathroom. Diane decides to be honest, telling Sam how foolish they are about their relationship. They later apologize and decide to make love, but Diane changes her mind and leaves. Carla brings her neighbor’s pregnant cat to the bar; after the cat gives birth, Norm offers to take the kittens home for a beer.

3

Money Dearest

Cliff fixes his mother, Esther (Frances Sternhagen), up with the wealthy Duncan Fitzgerald (Richard Erdman), but there is no chemistry between them until Norm steps in. When Esther and Duncan become engaged, she suggests that he donate his fortune to charity. Since Cliff cannot afford to pay for their parties and support them financially, Sam throws a bachelor party for Duncan at the bar. Duncan dies during the party, throwing Esther and the other guests into mourning.

4

Abnormal Psychology

Frasier reluctantly agrees to a talk-show debate with his former girlfriend, Lilith Sternin. Convinced that they may still be in love, Diane gives Lilith a makeover and removes her hairpin to loosen her hair. During the debate they sprinkle psychiatric jargon with double entendres, playing footsie with each other. After the show they regret their unprofessional behavior, but Frasier asks Lilith to let her hair down again. Overwhelmed, he kisses her and takes her to dinner. To convince the unenthusiastic Norm and Cliff to go fishing with him, Woody tempts them with his RV’s features. After the trip, Woody and Norm tell Sam that Cliff was boring and only caught a small fish. Sam gets a concert ticket as a gift from a customer, and gives it to Diane. When he refuses to accompany her, Diane tells Sam and Carla that she will find another date. Annoyed, Carla tells Sam to take Diane out and he reluctantly goes to the concert.

House of Horrors with Formal Dining and Used Brick

Carla is thrilled to move into a reasonably-priced, older home (at Cliff’s suggestion). When she discovers the house was built on the graveyard of a 17th-century prison, she assumes that that is the reason for the low price. Diane and Sam convince her to stay at the new house overnight. When Norm and Cliff go in, Norm is frightened; when Sam calls with a message about his wife Vera, Norm leaves Carla and Cliff alone. Cliff is ready to leave since they cannot stand each other’s company, but Carla dances with him and wins him over. At dawn, after a night’s sleep, Cliff and Carla are awakened by shaking, loud noises and bright lights. These are caused by a jet, and Carla is relieved that the house’s price is due to its proximity of the airport.

6

Tan ’n’ Wash

Norm tries to interest his friends in his new project: Tan ’n’ Wash, a combination laundromat and tanning salon. Despite their doubts the gang invest in the project from Norm, try it out and receive dividend checks for their shares. However, the venture fails. Diane dates Chad, but breaks up with him because Sam is jealous.

7

Young Dr. Weinstein

Diane has a reservation with Jordan (Josh Clark) at the Café, telling Sam that the restaurant treats walk-ins and non-celebrities poorly. When Sam gets a later reservation, he impersonates Jordan on the phone, canceling Diane’s reservation. Frasier prepares Sam to go to the restaurant as Julian Weinstein (Frasier’s former classmate) with his date, Darlene (Kristi Somers). At closing time, Sam discovers that Jordan has left Diane without dinner; still posing as Weinstein, he orders the restaurant to let Diane eat dinner at his table. Sam does not have enough cash to pay for dinner, but Diane refuses to contribute. His real name is on his credit card (revealing his deception), so he runs off. Woody invents already-existing drinks, forgetting the recipe after spending all day inventing one new drink.

8

Knights of the Scimitar

Cliff, a member of the Knights Club, invites Norm to join. Reluctant at first, he joins after learning that the club may need an accountant. At the meeting, when Norm is about to offering his accounting services, the High Sultan (Stephen Vinovich) tells him that offering services to other members is forbidden. Norm remains a member until the club passes a rule banning beer from its meetings, prompting him to quit. Diane is interested in Lance Apollonaire (J. Eddie Peck), a student in a class where she is a substitute teacher’s assistant, but when Sam kisses her, she is more exhilarated than she was from Lance’s kiss.

9

Thanksgiving Orphans

It is Thanksgiving week; Sam has a fiancée, Cliff’s mother volunteers, Norm is unhappy to see his mother-in-law, and Frasier is burned out from psychiatry. Carla invites them to her house for a potluck while her children stay at ex-husband Nick and his wife Loretta’s house. Norm’s wife Vera and Sam’s fiancée are invited, but Sam’s fiancée goes to her sister’s house, and Vera goes to her mother’s. Sam brings pie, and Norm brings a frozen turkey. An uninvited Diane appears, telling them she ran away from the house of one of her professors when she realized she would be domestic help in a Pilgrim outfit. The gang are ready for dinner, but Diane tells them to wait for the turkey. Unfortunately, the turkey is thawing slowly and the other food is cold. Carla blames Norm, who blames her oven. They begin throwing food at each other, and the others follow suit. After the food fight, the gang calms down and decides to eat what they can. When Diane throws pie in Vera’s face instead of Sam’s, Vera tells Norm to take her home.

Everyone Imitates Art

The Literary Review rejects Diane’s work, publishing Sam’s poem instead. Suspecting his poem was plagiarized, Diane jeopardizes her health to track it down.

Although she is pleasantly surprised that Sam saved her letters, he denies that he still has feelings for her. Carla makes her annual pilgrimage to Graceland, while her children visit Nick and Loretta.

The Book of Samuel

Sam announces his fishing trip with his buddies at Moose River. Irritated by Diane and Carla’s competition for the management job, he puts Woody in charge. When Woody’s ex-girlfriend Beth (Amanda Wyss) comes in with her fiancé Leonard (John Brace), Diane says Woody has a girlfriend, prompting a double dinner date. Woody uses Sam’s legendary black book to find a date, and Desirée is chosen as Sam’s "best". However, Desirée looks older than expected and is uninterested in Woody, and Carla confirms her as Sam’s "best" housekeeper. Woody leaves Carla and Diane to decide who will be in charge for the evening, and Carla promises Diane will not make speeches. After dinner at Melville’s, Woody reluctantly admits that seeing Beth and Leonard saddens him. Beth tells Woody she wants to settle down, but he is the adventurous type. After Beth and Leonard leave, Desirée overhears the men (except Woody) ridicule her, and she leaves. Woody finds her, telling her he had fun despite the evening’s rough start. To make up, they go out for coffee.

12

Receiving no response, she auditions there. Sam and Frasier arrive to tell her the truth, dashing her ballet dreams.

Chambers vs. Malone

Sam asks Diane to stop expecting him to propose to her; she cries, which annoys him. He proposes again and she refuses; he dreams of being executed for murdering her.

In court, after the judge (Tom Troupe) waives bail and sets the trial for the following day, Diane—with a neck brace and cane—tells the judge about their relationship and admits that she tripped and fell while Sam was chasing her. Sam’s attorney Tom (Tom Babson) suggests that Sam propose to Diane again, and the judge agrees. Sam proposes twice in court; Diane says "okay" to keep him out of jail. After the case is dismissed, Diane takes off the brace and packs up the cane. They apologize to each other, agreeing to be engaged.

However, Diane gets a phone call from Norm’s jeweler. In the car after dinner, Diane throws a ring out the window, not realizing it was a real diamond ring.
